| Source: Daxor Corp.
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 12, 2007) - Daxor Corporation (AMEX : DXR ), a medical
instrumentation and biotechnology company, today announced the receipt of a
signed trial agreement for a second Blood Volume Analyzer BVA-100 from
Saint Luke's Hospital of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Following the purchase
of their first BVA-100, Saint Luke's Hospital decided to acquire a second
BVA-100 for their Allentown, Pennsylvania location. Saint Luke's Hospital
is a non-profit, tertiary-care, teaching hospital with campuses located in
Bethlehem, Allentown and Quakertown, Pennsylvania.
Saint Luke's Hospital is a fully accredited Level I trauma center, offering
the region's most honored open-heart surgery program and the Saint Luke's
Regional Heart Center, ranked as one of the nation's Best Heart Hospitals
by U.S. News & World Report for seven consecutive years (1999-2005). Saint
Luke's Hospital has also been recognized with awards in "100 Top
Cardiovascular Hospitals" and the "100 Top ICU Hospitals." Following the
purchase of their first BVA-100, Saint Luke's Hospital's Nuclear Medicine
Department realized a need for a second BVA-100 for their Allentown
location to respond to the clinical requirements of a major expansion and
implementation of a new cardiovascular program.
Like Saint Luke's Hospital, many institutions and their patients have
benefited from the use of Daxor's BVA-100 to diagnose and guide therapy in
the treatment of a patient's blood volume. An upcoming symposium
publication in a nationally recognized, peer-reviewed publication is
scheduled for publication next month. The symposium publication will
report on many clinical uses of a blood volume analysis in the diagnosis
and treatment of various disease states with volume abnormalities. Various
researchers will report on their use of Daxor's BVA-100 and the results of
their respective clinical studies.
Other nationally renowned hospitals which have purchased the BVA-100 Blood
Volume Analyzer after using it on a clinical trial basis are The Mayo
Clinic, The Cleveland Clinic, and New York University Medical Center.
Daxor Corporation manufactures and markets the BVA-100, a semi-automated
Blood Volume Analyzer. The BVA-100 is used in conjunction with Volumex,
Daxor's single use diagnostic kit. For more information regarding Daxor
